Tuesday, 20 June 1978 Leeds Polytechnic
Thanks to Dannyno for the listing (YCL = Young Communist League). No tape exists?
Rob England: I don't know if this'll be worth adding to the Gigography or not, but this was a Rock Against Racism benefit that should have also featured John Cooper Clarke and The Passage, and the admission fee was 30p(!). However only The Fall turned up, so it only cost us 20p to get in - I'm proud to say this was my first ever gig at the tender age of 15, sorry I can't provide a set list. How I wish I'd realised the significance of it at the time and tried to find something to record it on. There were only about ten people there, and, being a live music virgin I was left with tinnitus for a week.
I think it was a couple of months after their first Peel session, and I recall a woman who was probably Kay Carroll dancing round the mixing desk.

July 1978 issue (#85)

Friday, 14 July 1978 University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST), Manchester
Supporting the Rich Kids. The set included ‘Psycho Mafia’, ‘Stepping Out’, ‘Frightened’, ‘It’s the New Thing’ and ‘Music Scene’. No tape exists?
Bernie Wilcox: "The Fall supported the Rich Kids (Midge Ure and Glenn Matlock) at the UMIST Students Union as part of the RAR Carnival weekend. It was a bit last minute. The Rich Kids just called and said they'd got a spare night up north on the Friday and could they be part of it. I asked The Fall to support them because they'd done a lot of gigs for RAR in Manchester but they were no way good enough at that time to appear on the Carnival stage with either Graham Parker on the Friday or with the Buzzcocks on the Saturday. I seem to remember that Lard had just joined on bass because him and Karl came down to Alexandra Park later that night and had a few spliffs in the backstage area with us."
------------------
Saturday, 15 July 1978 Rock Against Racism Carnival, Aledandra Park, Manchester
Neither The Fool nor The Fall actually played; instead it was The Smirks and Graham Parker and the Rumour only. See Paul Morley's account of the poorly planned Carnival on the Manchester Digital Music Archive. Lots of photos here.

Saturday, 22 July 1978 Deeply Vale People's Free Festival
Repetition / Psycho Mafia / Rebellious Jukebox / Frightened / Steppin' Out / Like to Blow / Mess of My / Mother-Sister / Industrial Estate / It's the New Thing / Futures and Pasts / Music Scene // Bingo Master's Break-Ou t/ Brand New Cadillac
It was later estimated that 18,000 people attended the festival. The Fall played on the festival's Saturday "New Wave Afternoon." Many thanks to Mark for the festival running order and Dannyno for the Record Mirror review.
Dave: "You say about 18,000 people attended Deeply Vale July 78. I was there - no more than 3000 at most I would say. Anyway, I seem to remember seeing the Fall there - memory a little hazy so I may be completely wrong - they played in the pouring rain. About 30 people in front of the stage (me included) everyone else huddling in tents and under bin bags. Just me and my brother and a few strangers shuffling about in front of the high stage. Most animated punter was .... you guessed it - Jon The Postman - oblivious to the elements. Can anyone else corroborate my story?"
later Dave added: "There were 20,000 people there!!! The Fall did play in the afternoon and the afternoon was compered by Tony Wilson. Been thinking about the 78 festival - it wasn't entirely a pleasant experience - Hell's Angels drove through the middle of the site on motorbikes and generally behaved aggressively. Looking into people's tents looking for Punks to beat up. Police turned up on site. Things got a bit threatening so I left late one night and went home!
A fair to middling audience recording of the set was released by Ozit in June 2005. A few months later Ozit announced that they had held back two tracks from their Fall CD -- Bingo Master's Break-Out and Brand New Cadillac -- which they plan to release on a Deeply Vale box set in 2006. One of the more deplorable marketing ploys Fall fans have endured over the years.
- "Good afternoon! When I was on the witch trials of the twentieth century, they said, 'You are an aesthetic anasthetic. Your repetition will never be.' Right, noise!" (before "Repetition")

Oh, aren't you lucky?" (during "Music Scene")
- "Your fears, your arrears, they're all here. Some people write things about it. They have outgrew their crime. We will have revenge. When we've finished with him they will have to pump air into him." (also during "Music Scene")

Bernie Wilcox: "I also organised these gigs. The Fall did the opening night. Tommy, the Club owner promised me a stage but when we got there he'd "forgotten" and so The Fall just played without one with Mark just wondering around the audience in this small Club singing into his mike.
"The next week, Tommy still hadn't got the stage organised but the social sec at UMIST was there and he said we could use his collapsible stage if we picked it up. Joy Division were playing and they collected it, erected it, dismantled it and delivered it back to UMIST at the end of the night. Hooky was great."
